When Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power early this year, many asserted that the former Gujarat CM’s emphasis to built a ‘Hindu Rashtriya’ paved a smooth way for his success in elections. India with its 814 million strong electorate has a predominant Hindu vote share and when a political party planked its election manifesto on the grounds of religion, the result was not a surprise.

Hinduism and Hindutva are the terms that have been consistently debated for decades. The debate remained merely an academic discourse upto the advent of Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) rule in 1998.
The topic now requires serious understanding as it has ramifications for day to day life of contemporary India in general and its minorities in particular.
How Hindutva was born?
India was suffering from an acute identity crisis says Subramanian Swamy in his book Hindutva and Hindu Renaissance.
This was because Hinduism was bereft of a single...

The turbulent West Asian region may be again in the middle of great oil war – between US-Saudi Arabia on one side and Russia-Iran on the other side – as the crude which is central to the region’s economics and politics is battling a new low price of USD 80, a slump from USD 115 in June. Both Russia and Iran are battling western political pressures on host of issues, including Moscow’s intervention in Ukraine and Tehran’s uncompromising stand on its nuclear program.

There’s no denying that the planet’s in a bad place: 2014 seems likely to be the hottest year ever recorded globally, and it’s brought with it tremendous drought in much of the Americas (Sao Paulo, 7th largest in the city in the world, is weeks away from running dry) and crazy flooding across swaths of Asia. The world watched in horror at the pictures from Kashmir and before that Uttarahkand, but by now that kind of horror is growing routine. In 2013 it was the Philippines, in 2012 New York City. In 2015 it will be somewhere else—probably...

With Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led union cabinet recommending the dissolution of the Delhi Assembly and setting the stage for fresh polls soon, political leaders have started hopping from one party to another with reports coming in about two AAP MLAs joining the BJP, a day after JDU legislator Shoaib Iqbal joined the Congress. Both the national parties have stepped up effort to corner AAP with these inductions ahead of upcoming Delhi assembly polls.

Across the time many theories have been propounded advocating the formation of the separate state of Pakistan. Some of the theories attribute the partition to the conspiracy of British and/or of Muslim league while others sponsor the idea of separate homeland for Muslims. There are a good number of propositions which adhere to the fact that Pakistan was created to retrieve the ancient glory of Islamic eraand to find a base for reestablishment of Islamic thought and the resurgence of its message. While there are just a few conjectures which go by...

I remember it clearly when my grandfather narrated how his father used to visit a local Panditji, so that he could read out the letter my grandfather received from his distant relative. ‘Hatte Maara ye dette paerith(Please, read it for me).’’ The Kashmiri Pandit society used to be educated and acquired good positions in the government, while the Kashmiri Muslims lagged behind.
Today, the situation is entirely different; Kashmiri Muslims are well educated and well versed with the leading subjects in the world. Today, we don’t require visiting...

Empowering women in the workplace has been on the global agenda for over a decade. This is especially important in the travel and hospitality industry, currently among the largest and fastest-growing industries worldwide, forecasted to support 328 million jobs, or 10 percent of the workforce, by 2022. Women currently comprise 60 percent of the industry’s workforce, and the number will continue to rise to fulfill the exponential increase in opportunities (World Travel & Tourism Council). But while men comprise 25 percent of the managerial...
